Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
No, actually I immediately brought it to the machine shop for them to check.Ended up cutting it .010/.010 and then balancing it. The machinist was amazed at how well it cleaned up. It's running in Gramma's Firebird now.

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
I'd say that shifter has changed a few gears in its life. Also, good old oven cleaner to get rid of gunk.

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Does anyone know the significance of the "D" that is stamped on some shift rods. I have had many sets of 69 Z rods and most 1-2 and 3-4 rods do not have any stamping at all, I do find the reverse rod has the 5771 stamp. I have 1 set of 69 Z rods that does have the "D" stamped on each one.

I have many sets of 69 Z rods also and none of the 1-2 and 3-4 rods have any stamping at all. I have found the reverse rod stamped with 5771 or a "D" stamp.

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Darrell -- I don't know how you are derusting the driveshaft ... but I put the a driveshaft into a length of 4" PVC pipe, capped up one end and filled with Evapo Rust. Excellent results. TAZ

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Be careful with the rust remover stuff on the brake booster. It will remove the original zinc plating (or what's left of it).

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
Wow, that thing sounds good. Man, I need to get my grandfather's back up and running. It's got a real bad draw on the battery. Not sure what's causing it.
